With you on that one. I remember being given it as a child at a relative's place. Would have been very impolite to refuse. I remember swallowing bits whole because I couldn't stand to chew. Icky icky icky 🤢

Oh wow!

"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves ..."– Jenny Joseph

Beautiful salad. Looks like fairies might live in those bluebell woods.

Blue or purple?
Just flowers seen on morning walks.

Very moreish.

Crazy stuff that! Millions watching! Can remember seeing a few minutes of a tomato soup/cheese toastie once but could not watch the whole thing. Super effective in short recipe reels though!!

Looking for an alternative to chips, I found Himalayan pink salt popcorn and now there's no turning back 🍽️

That's a beautiful way of putting it 🌙

What a great time not to be a flat-earther.
Looking across my neighbour's roof feels different now.

I so admire people who have that artist's eye.

You're right, Kafka. They're living in the nuance 😀

Oh I can taste that. Wonderful.

My mother was great with roses too! I think it was all in the pruning. Tough love.

I wish I could have this as a screen saver, sound and all.

My mother also used to grow these 😀

Wasn't familiar with JustOneCookbook, so thanks for the tip! Just had a quick look. Sounds, as you say, light but hearty. Will try! 🙏

Dumpling, Waffles and Kevin have got her number.

When it comes to mashed potatoes – the French 🇫🇷🫡

Had a friend over for dinner. Deep dish lamb and beef spanakopita. Barley and pea salad with pistachio sauce. Pickled cukes and onion in a raspberry vinegar. Potato and eggplant salad. Dessert was orange olive oil cake with strawberry rhubarb compote.

Omg looks and sounds amazing! This was the prep, yes? 😀 I hope your friend appreciated it. Everything looks gorgeous and I particularly love the combination of salads. Actually, also the spanakopita. And the cake.

In case of emergency, break chocolate 😂 This all looks very delicious. Love the look of the cream stew.
